Sgt. Grit,
Just wanted to submit this pic of my latest creation. I purchased this Tie Tac in the PX at Parris Island in 1967. My mother passed away and she gave me her diamond Ring that she wore for years. I got the idea of using the Diamond for a better purpose. I drilled out the Globe of our Beloved Emblem and glued in the diamond. It sure turns some heads as it glows like it’s on fire.
The picture doesn’t do it justice. I am really proud of it. Everyone wants to buy one and my reply is that, This is one of a kind just like the Corps. Civilians don’t get it and they never will.
